1. INSTALLATION
Connect one end of the coiled cord to the handset and the other end to the socket
at the left of the base unit. Replace the handset to the cradle.
Connect one end of the telephone line cord to the socket at the back of the unit and
connect the other end to the telephone socket at the wall. After connecting the
telephone to the line socket, the handset should be lifted to check dial tone is being
received. If the handset is not lifted, the telephone will take about 15 seconds to power
up during which time any incoming calls will not ring the unit.
2. OPERATION
2.1 Dialing
Lift the handset and dial the number (local call charges may apply). The telephone is
pre-set at tone mode. To terminate a phone call, simply replace the handset.
If you want to terminate a call and make another call immediately, you may press the
NEW CALL key once. The unit will terminate a call and let you dial the number for
another call.
2.2 Tone or Pulse Option
To find out whether you are on a digital exchange that accepts tone dialing, locate
the switch marked TONE / PULSE inside the compartment underneath the unit. First
try dialing out with the switch in the TONE position. If this is unsuccessful, switch back
to the PULSE position.
Note: Pulse (Decadic) dialing is not available on NRX Telephones sold in NZ.
2.3 Mixed Mode dialing (how to switch from pulse to tone in mid – call)
Even if your local exchange only allows pulse dialing, there may still be occasions
when you need tone dialing. For instance, when you call into a bank’s computer
system, you may be asked to enter number codes. You can only do this if your
telephone sends out tones when you press the keypad.
The TONE button helps you make change over from pulse to tone dialing in the
middle of a call.
Note: Pulse (Decadic) dialing is not available on NRX Telephones sold in NZ
What you do: Pulse – dial the telephone numbers you require.
When you are connected, press the “TONE” button
What you do: Dial the rest of the sequence you require.
What you hear: Each number you dial emits a tone
When the handset is replaced, the unit goes back to pulse dialing

2.4 Pause Button
If the NRX-1 is being connected to a PABX system which requires the dialing of an
additional digit (most commonly digit “0”), a pause may be required for accessing the
external telephone line. The Pause key may be used for providing the pause period of
about 4 seconds while waiting for this dial tone after the first digit has been dialed.
This will be stored in the Last Number Redial memory and be automatically inserted
in the number when the LNR button is used.
2.5 Other Network Services
The NRX-1 is fully compatible with many telephone network services, which provides
a number of useful additional facilities, including three way calling, call diversion, call
waiting etc. If you are connected to one of the digital exchanges, you can access
these services via the Recall button on the keypad. For further details, please contact
your telephone service provider.
Note: PCT 200 6.8 For Call Waiting Services in New Zealand.
The recall facility of this product may not always operate correctly on some parts of
the telephone network or on some PABXs available on the NZ market. If this is the
case then "recall" can be activated by 'flashing' the switch-hook or by repeated use
of the recall.
Recall problems with this product are not to be reported to Telecom Faults Service.
2.6 Message Waiting
The NRX-1 has a built in LED neon lamp for message waiting indication. This is
compatible with various PABX systems providing such features. A Message waiting
switch is built inside the compartment under the unit. This switch enables the LED to
detect two different line signals by selecting switch position 1 or 2.
For 90V DC or AC message waiting signaling PABX the neon is used for indication.
Set the position of the switch to OFF as the LED is not needed for indication.
The default switch position is OFF.
Please note the compartment door should be replaced when settings completed.

The number will be retained in the memory until you dial a different number. To redial
the last number automatically…

2.11 Impedance Matching
The Impedance Matching switch inside the compartment in the base of the NRX-1
allows the NRX-1 to be connected to different types of PABXs. There are 3 positions
in this switch for selecting the matching impedance with the PABX. The NRX–1 has

ohm are suitable for certain PABX types.
